Bowling Green Customs got conned!!!!
AKA Southern Custom and Racing
They got screwed out of $50,000 in an investment scam. Cheryl DAgata was on FOX 5 last night being interviewed. What comes around goes around.

They probably scammed the $50k from someone else first.
Payback is a biatch.

Cliff notes Money first. Parts later. Money first. Parts later x 2 Parts will be on the way, then delay parts and collect more money, never deliver parts. Eventually using money coming in to pay off money going out, if nothing in the middle, why do business? Sad to see ATR go, BGC, CAS, 0-60, and a few others gone,... guess its inevitable.

Karma is a b!tch
I remember many years back they tried to stick it to my dad with a radiator that got all banged up in the mail because they didn't pack it right... My dad told them about it and they said "You can use it, a few little dents won't hurt"
Luckily after going round and round with them he was able to get his money back after he sent the radiator back to them... After that never again!

Hahahahaha!
Luckily I quit doing business with them after I received a MAF pipe that looked like it had been in a cage with gorillas and a vice. Vice teeth marks all over it, looked like they made it with a hammer and vice.When I inquired, their response was, "You should have purchased the polished one and the teeth marks would not have been on it"... what a joke, I just phone my CC and disputed the charge and tossed the pipe in the trash, was not even going to waste my money on mailing it back and had the CC company change my number after filing the dispute. They never responded to the CC dispute so I got my $$ back.

I am the original owner of Bowling Green Customs. I started the business in 1987 and sold it to John in 1992. Unfortunately John never paid me the last $55,000 he owed me. I'm glad somebody got some of my money from them. I have started making some of my previous products like the trunk kits and console cushions again in limited quanities.

The reason, [one of many, I'm sure] that stuff such as elbows, intakes, were late, never shipped, was due to them screwing the guy that was doing the machine work. He shut them down, and refused to release the CNC programming...
The list of folks those two screwed is probably very long. What goes around....

Maybe someone should drop a dime to the TV station that did the story and give them a little background of the "victims" of the scam. That would put a spin on things.

Personal experience..
I knew that they were going to get some intakes in, so I called and put my name on 1, for my stage 2.
Several weeks went by, and I get a call. "your intake is in and ready to ship". I said, "John, I live 45 mins from you, I'll come get it". "NO! You HAVE to give me your CC#, or you'll be off the list", was the reply. No need to guess what came next!  I guess he's still sitting on it! Come to find out, all I would get was the manifold... No rails, no plenum, no hardware... All of which were included in the $600.00 price. [Seems the machinist was holding those items, til he got paid.] Those two were "famous" for the $hit they pulled w/ people's cc #'s! Jack Cotton had 1, so I got it from him, and made my own rails....
